wake up 6.15am...hmmm power is off... husband is away until tomorrow night ... walk down to engine room and turn on generator... good ... can do treadmill workout now...
get kids up for breakfast 7am ... objections all around, but I persist ... phone rings ... someone asking about installing digital tv ... What's that ??? someone's calling for me?? ... 'Won't be a minute ... I'm on the phone!'.
Oh dear! ... Our coldroom has 'iced up' and all our cold goods and hanging beast is in danger of being ruined ... WAIT! ... grab the hairdryer ... show the hired help how we 'melt the ice' and get the coldroom working again ...
ok... good ... can I have my breakfast??? no... kids need to brush teeth and get ready for school... ok... done ...
wait "MUM!! " poddy calves are in the garden! "what???" oh no... 4 of our poddy calves have jumped the fence, are eating rotting mangoes (which they love) and won't get out of my garden!
you are KIDDING ME! ok... finally get the kids to help me muster them out of the yards and lure with some mangoes ... yes, Ben, Bambi, Andy and Daisy - OUTSIDE the fence please off my violets, lillies and gerbras!"
now... I just have to feed Andy (youngest poddy calf) 2 litres out of a bottle ... and ... done.
Finally! Breakfast, a shower and just in time to run over and listen to the kid's on air Christmas concert... and it's only 8.30am...
this is why they say ...
THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY !!!
... looking forward to...
